Previewing a pad’s sound ([HEAD PREVIEW] button/[RIM] (PREVIEW) button)

Press the [HEAD PREVIEW] button/[RIM] (PREVIEW) button to hear the sound of the currently selected pad.

The volume changes in response to how hard you press the buttons. You can also specify a fixed volume. For details, refer to “Data List” (Roland website).

If the kick drum is assigned to a pad (trigger input number), no sound is heard when you play the [RIM] (PREVIEW) button.

MEMO

Press the [HEAD PREVIEW] button/[RIM] (PREVIEW) button while holding down the [SHIFT] button to hear different kinds of sounds (such as the sound of playing a snare drum closer to the rim, shallow rim and cross-stick shots, closed hi-hats, ride cymbal bells and so on).
If you use the SELECT [ã] [â] buttons to select a trigger input number, you can still hear sound even when the V71 is not connected to a pad.

You may hear the preview sound when the V71 is exposed to a strong impact. If this happens, you can turn the preview feature off by following the steps below.
Press either the [HEAD PREVIEW] or [RIM] (PREVIEW) button while holding down the [KIT] button Ó set the Preview Mode parameter to “PREVIEW OFF”
